Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity. The director concluded, and the AAO agreed, that the beneficiary's duties involved performing the day-to-day operational tasks of the company, rather than primarily managing the organization or other professional employees, which is required for the L-1A classification, particularly in a new office with minimal staff.
